While
CodeCreatures is an older benchmark, it taxes newer cards quite hard. SLI
provides a massive performance boost in this test, and overclocking also adds a
bit to overall performance. As we've seen with 6600GT-based cards in the past,
the relative drop in performance as resolution increases tends to be less than
the card's ATi rivals.
